No you're not. I've seen you in battle and you a formidable player IMO. Impregnator is deemed OP. I dont agree with that at all. This ship forces the enemies to do the 1 missing and absolute ever failing aspect of this game: team work. I dare you to see how OP the Imperator is when it gets focused fired upon or being attacked by a CV with torp/ bomber planes. And better: those 2 combined. IMO it's the biggest mistake WG has made in deeming a ship "OP." it is THE opportunity for "newbies" to get acquinted to teamwork. if you happen to see an Imperator: that's your main target for all. Untill it's ultimately fire proof.... Please WG: bring this wonder back into availability! @ Admiral: if you want, I'd love to team up with you 1 day.

Hey. You did your job as a DD. Compliments and +1 from me. I wish more DD players would do theirs. Believe me: we all need players like you. So don't worry about the 0 damage. What you did is by far more important!

Took out my Admiral Hipclown today.... And I actually inflicted damage! A full broadside enemy Atlanta: 5 hits and a staggering 1050 damage!! Not only that: I sunk 2 ships. I only took 1 return salvo. undetected for at least 10 seconds, perfecly angled, shells hit the water and only 90% of my health gone! It was the most amazing game ever in my Hipperrrr! I don't understand why people are complaining about the KM cruiser line....

ah hell. When I get yelled at by something like this I'll just take it as a compliment. Scoring a goot hit is at least 50% depending on luck (AKA RNG-us). Got as much bad luck a well. Lately: a full BS York to my Izumo @ 6 km. 5 hits, 5 riqs, 0 damage. So I'll let them whine and complain. I know there are aimbot cheaters because this is a game. And where's there are games there are cheaters. No matter how hard people cry in denial. They're there. Period. I know a lot of shots, rounding around islands or better: straight through them while being undetected for 5 minutes, 1 shotting me are in 99% of the cases by far better players than I am or the ones seeming always being able to hit me seriously while I can't scratch their paint in knife fights: the same case (far better than I am) but the rest 1% are cheaters. But I don't mind though: BLUNT (better luck next time).

Indeed. We've been over this over and over again. For me it's simple. I suck too much to perform in the T9-10. I'm not an youTube ace who makes 600 credits in the most mediocre game. No, I get focussed out and get sunk. That'll be 200K credits in an otherwise tedious game. For me it's a waste of time. So I'll stick to the T5-8 range in order to have nice games. Yep, I also lose and lose credits in those but at least it's manageble. For me they have made the T9-10 otherwise wonderful ships completely in vain. We all suggested solutions. It's up to WG to do something about that or not. Could we please leave this matter for the rest?

Are there different models of Hipper on the market? The only thing I excell in is sucking with it. Got the feeling I'm shooting pingpong balls to the reds, I hate the gunsounds and every salvo in my general direction is automatically a 1 shot or -95% health in the extreme optimistic cases... Not to mention my free light tower on top of my mast, together with the best Boombox sound system, making sure the reds can see me allover the map "Here I am!!!! Please focus me out!!!!!" Wether I'm @A1 or the center of the map....

*fail!!!* Why didn't I think of this! Now I'm running a Hiei harem! Already have 3 of those retard glass schoolteachers!! (-;

Yeah!! And I want to be able to change ships in battle while we're at it! Just sail back and pick the appropiate ship!

Same here. I save free XP for ship upgrades. 1 advice: sometimes there are 3 hulls. The second being "meh" Just research but don't buy it! I used free xp twice to skip a ship: the Colorado and Izumo. Last one because Yamato was on sale that time. (-; Bought Izumo later though and I like that ship. But I'll won't wander off topic. Free XP for upgrades.

Hey people, I tried to search about this topic but couldn't find anything about his issue. I'm looking to improve my skills. I'm experiencing the dilemma of the Benson C-hull. I sacrifice 1 turret to slightly better AA and maneuvrability. I did take the gamble and researhced it. I must say: the ship is moving like an eel in snot... But I miss the extra turret severely. What's your advice? go back to the B or stick to the C? it.

This 1 is indeed explainable with the radar acoustic. I've been in dozens of similar situations though, detected sign being off for more than 10 seconds but still getting shot to pieces. Since I chase has declared nothing's wrong with the smoke, there's no room for debate. My sincere advice: never, never ever trust the smoke! It's not working.

I'm starting to become a huge fan of your posts! The marvelous simplistic way you put things always bring a smile on my face! Actually the idea of a survival bonus doesn't even sound too crazy at all IMO. But I'm afraid it will add to the enormous camping problem we already have. *sigh* Guess this means no "sign of approval from Skybuck" for me for this post. (-;

I made a Kraken today!!! For a noob like me it's wonderfull! And a close Q + a flesh wound!!! Don't have proof: don't know how to upload a pic in the forum anyway! But proud with my result. Got no + karma for it though. But who cares! I did it! (after the Boot Camp Kraken of course (((-;)!!!

And that's the whole point in TIX-X. It is so boring because of sitting back. And the sitting back is IMO 99% because of the high costs. I don't think the issue is the fact they want to earn a buck in the game for hardly anyone. I'm a wallet player myself. Bought prem, a galleon or 2, premships just because I love the game and I understand how hard is to make a decent living. For me it's a matter of: you made a hell of a product, I grant you my cash for that. I proposed a suggestion for this matter a long time ago (for which I was pretty much hereticised): give me the option to "buy off" the repair costs at once. I pay cash, and that way my repaircosts can never fall below 0. Still have to perform to earn profit of course. That way my costs problem is gone and I would be more inclined to break the paralisis in the battles and start pushing more. And make that purely optional. So both the "die hards" and the crap players like me are satisfied. While still making profit for the dev's.

Nice thread. I like to collect ships as well so it's sometimes hard to pick one. In the beginning of the session I usually start with a mid tier ship for 2 or 3 rounds to check how the "player environment" is. If I draw the conclusion there's a nice play to win athmosphere I'll take my grinding ships out. If it's a potatoes-R-us scene, I'll stick to some premiums and rather quickly call it a day. I grind all non-CV lines (CV is not my "thing"). All BB's are complete, stuck @ Baltiless, just got Ibuki (2 disaster games, but hey: I need to practise more!). Pretty much stuck @ Kageroo: play to lose credits is getting boring and lost interest in the Shima after the nerfs. Suffering through Hipster now and highly enjoying comrad Khabarovsk.

It's been debated thouroughly in the Forum. I have drawn pretty much the conclusion I suck too much for the top tiers. 9 and 10 that is. And I find the battles boring beyond believe. The economy is IMO paralizing those battles: everybody, OK much people, are afraid of the repair bills and don't do anything. I want action and combat together with tactics and good teamplay. PlayTW! I'm bored to death by circling around for 10 minutes and then getting 1 shot by the 25 km away Yamato. If I push, nobody's follwing me and I get 1 shot by the same Yamato from 15 km away. I'm not afraid of losing or making a loss in profit though. It's just that I hate to be punished by trying to play well. Kangeroo f.e. I can't make that ship earn a dime. I cap, scout, land an occasional torp or doing some other damage. Getting no damage or a minor scratch, we win the battle and still I can part from 50k credits. Of course I'm not expecting a profit of 500 grant. But this has completely demotivated me to try it very often. So what I have done is stick to t5-8 range. Yeah occasionally making a loss there too. But that's because of me sucking (98% of the times) or plain bad luck (2%). And the loss is managable: 2 mediocre follow up games and I have it back. I consider reaching a T10 ship as an accomplishment. But the main role of the 9-10 ships are decorating my port.

Dont forget it buffs the deceleration as well! I always use it on my DD's! The handbreak stop has proven a life saver dozens of times when facing a spread.

That seems very nice! Clicked on the link as well. Too bad I always work on Thursdays. It also seems primary focussed on WOT. And I don't play that game.

Check. No joy. I'm sure it will be fixed tomorrow with the micro patch....

Well, seeing your pics does not rule out the ingame possibility they vanished because of concealment. I'm not saying your problem didn't happen. Like i said: it happened to me once. I was being shot at from all directions and could see nobody. Not 1 single red ship. Was in the beginning of the battle and still had lots of allies and enemies. Surely at least 1 ship should have popped up. And like I said: sorry, I have no technical explanation for it. Nor a solution. A clean re-install might do the trick.

Ah. Than that's not for me.... (103 ships including ARP in port...). I thought maybe there was a connection somewhere in which I can link my port crowd...

Ban those aliens WG!!! They have AIM ASSIST!!!!!

Please keep us posted of the outcome. I'm very curious how WG will handle this!

Well I think it's not such a bad idea. IMO WG has borrowed the XP system from roleplaying games. In RPG the thought is: the more you learn the harder it gets to learn something new about it. Hence: more xp needed for the next level. Though harder it's not impossible. It could be an idea to making it possible to train 3 points all the way, adjusting the price per lvl up. I kind of like this idea. And it still gives free choice: if you don't want to pay for it, just grind on.

Would it be the blue hair chick in her bikini (honoustly forgot her name in the ARP serie), I wouldn't mind so much. Hahahaha!!!! I wonder if we get 2 of the same orange-pink boats when completing the second phase of the mission.
